“Since our first LNG cargo in October, ramp-up of LNG train 1 has progressed well with the train having already produced well above nameplate capacity. Six LNG cargoes have already been shipped to our customers. Commissioning work on GLNG’s second LNG train has commenced with a number of its subsystems now operational, and we are on track for first LNG from train 2 in the second quarter of 2016,” Mr Duke added.

Santos has a 30% interest in GLNG. The other participants are PETRONAS with 27.5%, Total with 27.5% and KOGAS with 15%.
